Something I've been thinking about

If you feel like your being treated poorly, go hunting for a new job. I understand about the whole thing on life being wasted at work and feel that way sometimes. I'd rather be doing something I love than stuck somewhere I don't like but that takes time and a buttload of patience.

Your life has little to do with it. Work is an economic transaction. Your skills and effort are worth what someone is willing to pay for them. No more, no less. If 40 hours of your efforts are enough to keep you housed, fed, and diapered, then well and good. If not, you need to find an employer who values them more, work more hours, or acquire more rare and valuable skills.

I'm not seeing any other options around where I live. At this point I think I'd rather just not work. What's the point if all my waking time is wasted making someone else (barely) happy. I would probably more, but I have no credit, so I can't get a apartment. I'm keeping calm, so not to get depressed again. I've gotten it under control lately. Maybe I should try for a Hail Mary move. Like the lottery or something stupid like that. The economy isn't giving many chances lately. I guess I'm feeling burned out and would rather just stay in bed.
